Cast Morland Graham as Old Bill John Mills as Young Bill Busby Mary Clare as Maggie Renee Houston as Stella Malloy Rene Ray as Sally Gus McNaughton as Alf Ronald Shiner as Herbert 'Bert' Smith Manning Whiley as Chimp Janine Darcey as Françoise Roland Culver as Colonel Donald Stuart as Canuck Nicholas Phipps as BBC Reporter Allan Jeayes as Willoughby Critical reception In contemporary reviews, The Manchester Guardian wrote, "The plot is a disconnected business, a series of episodes of the sort we usually call picaresque when we really mean stragglesome. It is, in fact, as glaringly unkempt and untidy as Old Bill's famous moustache which that delightful actor Morland Graham wears with conviction and distinction," and The Sunday Express wrote, "chalk up a hit for Morland Graham on this picture as Old Bill...it's an amusing highly sentimental affair written in the authentic language of the Front with no attempt to be subtle...a pity to see so fine an actor as John Mills in so empty a part."
